The season finale is coming this week, and it's called Magical Mystery Cure by M. A. Larson, also known for writing other great episodes such as Sonic Rainboom, The Cutie Mark Chronicles, The Return of Harmony and Luna Eclipsed. The summary of this episode reads:

"Twilight accidentally casts a spell that switches the Cutie Marks and destinies of all her friends. The only way she can reverse the spell is by writing her own magic."

There will be a nine-episode marathon preceding the season finale, which will begin from 6:00 AM EST/3:00 AM PST and ending at 10:30 AM EST/7:30 AM PST, which is when the new episode will air. This is all going to happen on Saturday, February 16, airing at The Hub, so be sure not to miss it! Also, please do not forget to support this show through iTunes!

Well, I’m sure the word is well enough out by now for most of you, but I’ve joined the Marine Corps, and I’m headed off for Boot Camp soon. I’m signed on for a four year tour of active duty, so I don’t know if I’ll ever see or talk to you guys again. I’m an electronic communications mechanic, so odds are I’ll be able to access a computer now and then, but I can’t be sure so I just want to make sure I’ve said this. I’m gonna miss you all, and as part of my goodbye, I’ve written a short blurb on what I’ll miss the most about all of you. I know some of them don’t seem like it, but these are from the heart, so I hope they’ll help you remember me as much as they help me remember you.

It’s been an honor and a privilege meeting and getting to know all of you, and you’ve been a big part of my life. You’ve helped me grow as a person in many areas, and you’ve been there for me when I was down. Thank you, all of you. I’ll never forget you.

(please note. the order listing has nothing to do with how important any one person was to me, this is simply the order in which i was able to think of names. it took me nearly six months to make this and write a blurb for all of you. i never bothered to reorder the names because i love all of you, and couldn’t bring myself to place any one person above the others. you’re all very special to me, and i hope this helps you realize that.)(i’m crying as i type this)

/P/AD[docs.google.com]The original thread no longer runs the way it used to, but the users will always be in my heart. They taught me much.

Insomniacs[docs.google.com]I only knew you guys for a short time, but you too touched my heart.

Today, I went to my monthly Literary magazine meeting. In the past I have submitted my works, including the To Samantha and To Rachel poems. They are now going to be put in the magazine along with other works and published to the school! Now my two prized poems can be seen by the world!

MLP is extremely racist, and I have a problem with it. Why is it that unicorns are the upperclassmen while the earth ponies are lowerclassmen? It's like Faust is trying to preach that slavery is good because the earth ponies do all the dirty work while the unicorns sit on their uptight asses. Also, unicorns are more powerful, which is synonymous with slavery because whites had all the power.

>>2525151>I want this arch'dWhat's stopping you? Doing so would carry on the spirit of the thread, no? >>2525152It would be if certain ponies didn't, quite literally, muddy things up for the rest of the world.

To help cut down all the EqG threads, maybe we should have an official discussion thread. It's a lot closer than season 4 at least.

The synopsis is "When a crown is stolen from the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle pursues the thief into an alternate world where she transforms into a teenage girl who must survive her biggest challenge yet… high school. With help from her new friends who remind her of Ponyville’s Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy, she embarks upon a quest to find the crown and change the destiny of these two parallel worlds."

>>2525015Amazing as it is, some people will claim to see things which aren't there, claiming everything that comes out of a franchise is the physical emboidement of things good and beautiful, regardless of how crazy that makes them look even after being pointed it out.

Just look at trekkies and all the crap they praise, or look at some at this very board.

Someone out there always likes something which can unquestionably be called bad simply for its source, so don't be surprised.

I can see why people would enjoy the movie, and i would probably enjoy it myself if i didnt appreciate a well put together story over pure entertainment value.

EQG delivered the latter quite well, as the catchy songs and the animation quality could attest to, in addition to the jokes that quite a lot of people who disliked the movie as a whole can say they laughed at.

Bronies, brothers and sisters of our amazing fandom, our world is at a crossroads. As you may have seen things are changing in our world. Talk of Alicorns, Cease and Desist orders, fear of losing the show we hold dear has enveloped our fandom and cause unrest amongst its people. A community of friendly, caring people has been riddled with cynicism, doom saying, and infighting because we’ve turned away from what all hold dear to face the giant in our path. Yes, friends, things are changing whether we like it or not. I’m not here to put your fears to rest or fill your hearts with panic and hopelessness. I’m simply asking you to remember. Who are we? Are we simply a group of adults with too much time on our hands who gathered around a children’s cartoon? Is that really all we are? An unexpected oddity? Or are we more than a bunch of grown men and women in funny cloths and rainbow wigs? Who are we, friends? I believe that we are a group of powerful individuals with our own stories and ideas. Even though we’re very different, we’ve found a common ground, something that we can all enjoy that’s showed us what is important in our lives. Kindness, strength, generosity, loyalty, friendship; these are more than words to us; they’re principles.

When I first looked upon the fandom I saw a group of people marching to the beat of their own drum and celebrating something they all cared about, even if it was just a children’s cartoon. But when I looked deeper I discovered it was so much more than that. The more I looked; I began to see how much people cared - even loved - its characters. This touched my heart in an amazing way. I thought that if these people could love a fictional pony so much, than how much can they have for each other? Now that I’ve become a part of the fandom I’ve found that love for myself and given of it freely. But since I’ve become accustomed to the community I’ve forgotten things. I’ve forgotten exactly why I started on this journey. I’ve taken for granted our love for each other and now that is coming under question.

In light of all of this coming change is now the time for us to divide ourselves? Is now the time for us

Take some time to reflect on all this wonderful community has done for you, and what memories you recall with the fondest nostalgia. Remember old friends and appreciate new ones. Take a trip down memory lane with us and write a letter to Princess !!Celestia about what you've learned in your time here, and the adventures you've experienced with your friends.

It may sound dumb but I was able to forgive myself in this site. That thread is /arched/ too! Woohoo!

Thank you so much, !!Celestia for this site and for keeping it strong amidst all the shit people say about us bronies. You see all this mudfests in this site concerning one another but I prefer to just chill. Thank you, for everything.

Dear Princess !!CelestiaThank you for giving me a canvas where I can post some... Pretty obsurd stories over the past year. Its been a blast and I'm looking forward to this summer.You're on again off again posterDerpy Ace Derporter

Mod edit: The poster has returned since making this thread.
Please allow me to post the second and third parts before posting…thanks.
To warn you, this is very long and may require you to read this in multiple posts….as I’m writing this in Word beforehand, I don’t know how many characters I can fit into one post…. There won’t be a TL:DR, there’s just too much to be summarized…so when you have the time, please…try to read this in its entirety…

If you think that this is another one of those "Goodbye..." threads, think again, it is actually a "Until we meet again....someday" thread. At the end of Wednesday, May 25, I'll have to leave... I have never seen a group of people so caring, kind, and loving....that not only do I see you guys as my friends, but as an extended family.... The term "hugbox" gets thrown around for this site, but is that really a bad thing? We all NEED friendship and the kind this fandom gives.....is simply wonderful.... By the end of this, you'll know that this really isn't a thread about me....no....I actually hate talking about myself and my problems throughout life....it is really about the people I've met, this wonderful site, and the fandom that sparked the question "Why the Hell am I watching this!?" and the answer "It's magic, I ain’t gotta explain shit.".

For those I wasn't fortunate enough to meet throughout my past weeks here......this is my story of both my past and the weeks I've spent here.....and the people/show that saved my life.....the people I can't thank enough for saving my sanity and allowing me to finally.......after about 16 years......be myself......the fandom that’s turned out to be so much more…for me at least…

To those I have met, befriended, helped, laughed/cried/hugged/loved/and been there for, you do not need to relive what I have already unloaded onto you all.....but I can't stop you if you wish to read my horrible past with some new info (some I have told you guys has been left out, as it doesn’t fit

>>2513000Thank you, for taking the time to read it.I hope you have a great day. ^_^

>>2513001Yeah, it's very similar. You can make other people happy/smile without being the joke-ster. I mean, I can't tell you how many people I've helped and made happy during the many months I've been here.

You can be who you want to be. If Mr Comedian isn't you, then don't be that guy. Want to be happy? Try to be yourself. I can tell you, I've been the happiest I've ever been in my life since taking off that mask/wall.

I dont know you, but I wish to know you.I feel alone all the time ( currently overseas. IE pilot), and like you, the show and this community made me feel something I hadnt felt for 23 years: welcomed, loved... at home.Kudos, and I hope to see more of you around here!

It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of these. Let’s take this opportunity to show a bit of our true selves, /oat/

Tell me a bit about yourself; name, age, gender, social security number it’s all optional. What are your dreams, are you studding or working towards them? What’s your favorite brand of pudding?

I’ll start; just like Steven Magnet I never introduced myself when I became a member, mostly because I was scared shitless, I jumped almost straight from anonymity to posting as Princess Celestia and then One Winged Pegasus.

You can call me Morri if you’d like, I’m 25, brunette, brahny (hell yeah I want to propagate that term)I play the guitar and some piano and love chocolate, especially in the form of a milkshake.I've been a huge metalhead since I was 13, been listening to some electronica lately, also like industrial.My dream was to live I a nice cabin or something out in the woods but recently upgraded to having an apple orchard. (thanks to Applejack and one beautiful day)I’m a vegetarian, because.My favorite pony is Pinkie Pie because I identify with her very much, also Rarity and recently Trixie.

I guess I'll playMy name is Melody Montalvo, 15 year old, femaleI started watching MLP:FiM about the time when Gryphon the Brush Off first aired.I've been here a while.I have blck hair with pink tips and brown eyesI am skilled in drawing, playing Electric bass and electric guitar and a flute~I listen to Dubstep, am a HUGE fan of The Beatles and Alexander RybakI live in Canadamy dream is to be a fashion designer.I've already been looking into schools since grade 9I'm hispanic, entire family born in El Salvador except for me, born in CanadaI'm 4 foot 11.. I'm tiny

Im Noah, im 15 years old and live in Ky (No, we are not all hillbillies!). I enjoy gaming, chillin w/ my friends, and most of all MLP:FiM. I also play the cello for my school and have been an All-State 1st chair for 3 years in a row. If you want to hit me up on Xbox my gt is xDustyJohnson.

And so it begins. Tuesday the 19th of April my friend shall know the true meaning of friendship. Senior prank week is coming up and instead of pranking the teachers as we usually do every year, the ponies shall block out the sun for him on this fateful day.

A little background info: My friend, Tony, and I are both seniors in our high school. He’s one of those guys who tries to act cool and tough around everypony, but fails most of the time. This is a multiple phase operation and has cost me over $40 to prepare for everything

>>16716I've been the first one in my school to speak up about ponies. Nothing really happened.Though this is a pretty nifty idea, I must admit. Now how to get it to work at my school...April the 1st seems like a good date though. Any ideas? The locker would be good, but barely anypony has lockers anymore. And remember, I'm English.
